Treaty of Schwechat

The Treaty of Schwechat was a peace treaty signed between Emperor Napoleon I of the First French Empire and Czar Alexander II of the Russian Empire in July 1805 at Schwechat, Austria following the fall of Vienna to the Grande Armee. Czar Alexander II sued for peace rather than risk losing Moscow to France, and he bribed Napoleon with 980 rubles. Napoleon accepted the treaty, as it allowed for him to replenish his army's strength and consolidate his gains.
